The timing of Tian Bang's laughter was somewhat inappropriate, which aroused everyone's attention.
About... The video conference interface was hard to see, but this time he reflected in time and raised his hand to signal: "Sorry, I suddenly got distracted."
Black Lion looked at him sideways, this was quite obvious: "What's wrong?"
"That fork, that fork in the road."
Tian Bang seemed to want to explain seriously, but his sincerity was compromised by the fact that he was still suppressing a smile. He also glanced at Liujia beside him and said hello in advance: "Brother Liu, I told you not to be angry."
"...Oh." Liujia looked a little distracted, probably because he was surprised by the sudden recruitment behavior, so he just responded casually.
Tian Bang then said: "When I saw Lieutenant General Joseph just now, I thought of the legends in our circle...I mean the ones circulated in the army."
"The legend about Joseph?"
"Contains the ... limerick of Lieutenant General Joseph."
Tian Bang laughed and said, no matter whether others were interested or not, he just shook his head and chanted:
“Smiling Joseph is cold-hearted and victorious.
"Flying bears on outlying islands don't touch the ground. Let's see who has the money by the fire."
After reciting, Tian Bang spread his hands: "So, for recruitment, are you going to pay for it? Do you have money?"
The reactions of the extraordinary beings were hard to describe, and Yuan Wuwei, who was listening in, almost laughed out loud.
He can testify that there is indeed such a crooked poem in military circles. Some of the words may be different, but the basic meaning is still the same.
The crooked poem involves the three current extraordinary bosses in the military:
Joseph, Anton Sheng and Kumagani Shigeru.
Lieutenant General Joseph was the most familiar to him. He was a capable and calm man, but he did not show much power on the surface. In fact, he was very strict in managing the army. There were many rumors in the army that some even said that he was mean and unkind and inconsiderate to the soldiers.
As for Liujia's boss An Dongsheng, he was in the battleground of Ancheng, surrounded by enemies from both sides. No matter how firm his face was, he still had trouble sleeping and eating.
There are also Xiong Gumao and Yuan Wuwei who are also common. This former Sakagami boss was driven away by the Amaterasu Order, became a monk halfway, and joined the military. However, he stayed at the Ceres Base forever and could not return to Earth for many years...
The expression in the crooked poem is inevitably somewhat ironic.
However, the key word in it is still in the last sentence:
The so-called "money" refers to military expenditures.
These three extraordinary bosses are all in the military world, and they are all in the spades sequence of the extraordinary deck. They are ranked as the queen of spades, the ten of spades, and the four of spades. Their strength may be different, but they feel that they have no essence. difference. In addition, these three people have one thing in common:
Just being strapped for money.
Just like Lieutenant General Joseph, such a character, really doesn't know how to care for soldiers? You have to love T-shirts and you have to have money!
Don't look at the number of aerospace battleships known as "the most cutting-edge crystallization of human technology" at his disposal, which can drive these experiments.
What is a big toy is not a fusion engine, but a huge amount of money that is burning every second.
And military spending on earth is limited. Compared with the empty and boring extraterrestrial space, the real threat of the wilderness has more reasons to allocate funds...
Therefore, Tian Bang's suspicion is still reasonable and valid.
Of course, it would be pointless to go into more detail.
Many people would say that Antongsheng held up half of the sky in the northwest region of the East Asian continent with the power of one city, and his military exploits were outstanding. It stands to reason that armaments and treatment should keep up, but why are they always so embarrassed?
In this regard, the spokesperson will say: There are 88 large metropolitan areas, each with its own market conditions. It is too difficult to coordinate and allocate military expenditures globally. It is better for everyone to raise some daily expenses by themselves...
As for Kumagani Shigeru, strictly speaking, he was still under Joseph's control. He didn't even have money to go to the peak. What could he hope for?
The above reasons actually all make sense. The problem is, some things just can't stand comparison.
Don't you see the word "fire" in the last sentence of the crooked poem?
The so-called "fire" is the fire of the pattern, and the one who burns it is the one who burns it.
Once you add this element, some things become more subtle. You must know that according to the public documents of the Star Alliance Committee, the world's major military science and technology research institutes and weapons manufacturing companies have undertaken and invested in "public R&D funds" on the Burner and corresponding Deep Blue Walker platforms every year. Since 1990, every year have increased by more than 10%; at the same time, the total global military expenditure has only maintained a growth rate of 1-2%...
Not to mention that military expenditures were squeezed out in other directions. Although the investment was huge, it fully stimulated the vitality of capital within the military and outside the circle, and leveraged astonishing social forces. This efficient R&D model and the direction favored by capital must of course be greatly promoted and promoted.
Dark Blue Walker and Burner are destined to be the mainstream of the future army, and are undoubtedly the direction of military construction.
So, don't compare, there is no way to compare.
Why did Lieutenant General Joseph come back this time with a special job, which was to select his personal guards, and the proportion of them that were burnt or expected to be transformed by burners was to be increased?
This is the guide.
And this kind of guidance is never empty words, but has real policies: add a Burner and the corresponding Deep Blue platform support, and the big governors who are responsible for voting on the military construction budget will allocate corresponding support funds.
Once it comes and goes, won't everyone be happy?
Of course, whether Lieutenant General Joseph was really happy behind his gentle smile, and whether it could warm up his cold heart when the matching money burned, is a matter of opinion.
The general situation is like this until someone shows up.
Well, by the way, who is the one in the middle of the deep blue cluster?
Yuan Wuwei had doubts about this.
I imagine many people are like this.
Yuan Wuwei also knew that what Tian Bang said may not be true; whether he was laughing just now because of this crooked poem was another matter.
suspicious. But no matter what, it would be difficult for others to open his head and find out the truth. They can only look back.
Monroe coughed and did not let Tian Bang continue to use his crooked poems. He forcefully dragged him back: "What is going on over there in the camp? Does General Tian know?"
Tian Bang is the commander of the camp. Even if there is interference from the sacred space and communication is poor, he should have other channels for information.
"Indeed there is."
Tian Bang didn't even stumble, he had obviously already understood: "The news from over there is that there was indeed a fight just now. I mean, in addition to the conflict between the clown and the chief priest Lanier, it is suspected that those underground The underground space dug by the toothed crocodile has experienced energy shocks.
"It's very short-lived, and it's mixed with the vibration of the high-energy jet in the underground cave. It's hard to distinguish...that's all. As for whether it's Nick or not, what happens next depends on everyone's imagination. The Air Force says it is. Well, basically it’s not wrong.
"Instead of discussing this, I am more curious. Did the person in front receive this recruitment order? Will he turn around?"
This is a good question.
Several extraordinary species were very interested in discussing.
Gao Wenfu took the initiative to answer: "Judging from the current situation and the state of the severed limb... maybe not."
"Enter Riven?" Shakal seemed to be quarreling with him, but also seemed to be purely confused about this.
Li Baizhou was looking forward to it: "Live broadcast to the whole world, how do you kill an extraordinary person?"
"Hey, he's Nick!" Black Lion used a very exaggerated tone.
“Nick’s words are okay, but the water tank is more troublesome.
"Guys who are not afraid of death are troublesome."
In just a few sentences, the discussion of extraordinary things has entered the most practical field of "life link".
As we all know, Nick and Water Tank, two dangerous people who enter the block sequence at the same time, have a "symbiotic" relationship and have a unique "Life Link" type BUFF:
As long as one party doesn't die, the other party can survive no matter what. The most they can do is rest for a while and then make a comeback.
"Nick is here, the tank theory will be somewhere else... the Atlantic Ocean?"
"Someone can position the world, and maybe it can be done in one go."
"Theoretically it's possible... The problem is, even if it's possible on Earth, what if it's not on Earth?"
This is a good question.
When dealing with Nick and Water Tank, a pair of strange symbiotic extraordinary species, it's not just the symbiotic chain that's in trouble. Although the earth is big and the extraordinary species are strong, under the iron will of the military government, killing two extraordinary species at the same time is not an impossible task at all costs.
But everyone knows that beating a dog is easy, but the master behind it is the biggest trouble. Moreover, what the "master" can do is not only shelter and support, but also a means to prevent "Iron Will" from continuing to become "Iron".
Things come full circle again.
Who will deal with such a problem?
